A flip makes money in three places: the price you buy at, the price you sell at, and how long you hold it in between. We can't change the first two. We can make sure the rehab doesn't eat the margin between them.
Built around your list date
- Scope to the ARV. Finish levels are matched to what buyers in that market will pay for. Over-improving a flip is as expensive as under-doing it.
- A weekly cadence. Work, report, draw, every week. Mason's weekly update tells you where the job stands against the timeline, so you can line up your agent and photos before the last punch-list item.
- One point of contact. No coordinating six trades or wondering who's on site. Mason runs the job.
Holding costs are the hidden rehab cost
Taxes, insurance, utilities, and loan interest keep running whether or not anyone is working. A contractor who disappears for two weeks doesn't just delay you; they add two weeks of carrying costs to the deal. How slow contractors eat flip margins.
Weekly labor draws help here too. You're not paying for work that hasn't happened, so a stalled job stops costing you labor.
Pay as the work gets done
Instead of a 30–50% deposit, you pay a weekly labor draw that's credited toward your project total, sized to the project's contract, scope, schedule and labor requirements, with a $4,000 weekly minimum. That keeps more of your capital available for the next acquisition. Calculate how much capital stays in your hands.
Before you buy
The best time to scope a flip is before you own it. Send Mason the address and what you know about its condition, and we'll talk through the rehab before you commit to a price. How to estimate rehab costs before buying.
